sandtiger; no..it doesn't seem like it.
i'll TRY to get a picture(lol it's only a millimeter..)
but the big goldfish inhaled it but spit it back out..


509stinger, how did you get rid of it?

If they look like baby crawfish, I bet they're amphipods. Google a pic. But if you say it they look like horseshow crabs, it sounds like Argulus (fish lice), and are very nasty critters in the tank.

did u put any driftwood in the tank? one time i put a piece of drift wood in a temp holding tank for a turtle and eventually i noticed this small clear leech looking thing. it was nasty. im never putting another piece of wood in a tank b4 boiling it first

lol i typed in baby crawdad and all i got were lures.
i did get one picture..looks tiny but has the crawdad shape..not it.

how do you think i got it? from the PETCO fish or the wild crawdad?

nope, no driftwood

Pictures. Many freshwater inverts can be confused with each other when identified by a non-scientific description.
